Best experience
Driving through some backwater village of 5 houses and the speed limit is 50km/h for about 1 km. It is about 6am and I am trying to fly home after a night of partying and I zip through going at least 100km. Low and behold, a cop is at the intersection with his arm sticking out the window holding a radar gun. Jeez. I hit the brakes and pull over right away...he got me. I was already out of my car walking toward him. He just sticks his head out and says "come on in" and opens the front passenger seat. I said " I have no excuse...you got me free and clear". He checks my record...nothing. He could have given me a $400 fine or so, minus 6 pts and on my insurance record. He said "I appreciate your honesty" gave me a fine for only 19 km over (about $70 bucks and no insurance record...20km over is trouble). Very nice man.
Worst experience
I am driving 5 drunk guys and I am stone sober. I get pulled over at a spot check, tell him I am the designated driver, blow in the machine, no worries and because one guy is holding a beer, and I get charged for alcohol accessible to driver. Come on...what the heck was that all about. Kinda frustrated about that one.
Happy New Year...drive safe.
